Recognition Worthy of the Achievement

Important transactions and achievements deserve more than a generic award.

Polaris designs and produces custom deal toys, financial tombstones and recognition pieces that turn the story behind a transaction, milestone or achievement into a physical object people want to keep, display and remember.

From M&A and fund closings to FDA approvals, real estate developments and employee recognition, we help clients create pieces worthy of what they represent.

Experience Matters

Custom recognition looks simple when it is done well. Getting there is not.

A successful piece has to balance the story, design, materials, manufacturing method, budget and deadline.

That is where experience matters.

Polaris helps clients make those decisions from the first idea through design, prototyping, production, quality control and delivery.

Creative Expertise

Work directly with experienced designers who understand deal toys, materials and small-batch custom manufacturing from concept through production.

We don’t separate creative ideas from how they will actually be made. Our designers understand the opportunities and limitations of Lucite, crystal, resin, metal, wood and mixed-media production, so concepts are developed with the finished piece in mind.

Direct Access

No layers of account managers or catalog salespeople. You work directly with the people developing the concepts and guiding the project through production.

Material & Manufacturing Experience

Lucite, crystal, resin, metal, wood, embedded objects and mixed-material assemblies all create different possibilities and constraints. We help choose the material and process that best serve the idea, budget and deadline.

Thoughtful Design

A strong concept has to work as a physical object. We consider manufacturability, proportion, finish, timing and presentation while the design is being developed, not after the fact.

Designed with Purpose and Meaning

The most memorable recognition pieces do more than commemorate a transaction, milestone, or achievement. They are thoughtfully designed to capture the significance of what was accomplished and the people who made it happen.

Polaris creates custom recognition pieces for organizations celebrating important transactions, milestones and accomplishments.

Have a Project in Mind?

You do not need to have the design figured out.

Send us the milestone or transaction, any logos or artwork you have, an approximate quantity and your target date. We will take it from there.

You will work directly with experienced creative professionals, not a sales layer, and we will typically develop initial concepts within 24–48 hours.
